The first day we showed up for lessons there was NO one around to greet us, check us in, or even tell us what to do or expect. So my daughter & I sat there until our instructor finally came out & got us. Strange. Aside from all that, we are very pleased with the quality of instructors and instruction. They offer a variety of music and dance classes, and pretty much the only option around these parts. :)

My daughter also takes voice lessons at the music center and has had very positive experience there as well.

Elkhart, Indiana's Lerner Theatre is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2024. The theatre was…read moreopened by Harry E. Lerner on November 27th, 1924 and originally had 2,000 seats with vaudeville, big band, and theatrical revues dominating the schedule. As movies came into reality, the Lerner also hosted them. The Lerner has changed ownership several times throughout the years and actually went vacant in 1987 when then owner William Miller passed away. Eventually, the city of Elkhart bought it in an effort to ensure its preservation. A non-profit negotiated to actually run the theatre as a performing arts center and initial renovations began to include interior painting on the main floor, restoration of the Grand Lounge, ADA compliant restrooms, new carpeting, new seats and lighting. It became apparent, however, that the beloved Lerner needed much more if it was to become the downtown Elkhart landmark everyone wanted it to be. Over the next several years, studies took place and plans were developed. In 2008, the city committed $18 million to a complete renovation that was completed in 2011. The Lerner today is a magnificent theatre. The Lerner hosts everything from local groups to national acts like Rodney Carrington, Brad Williams, and a host of musicians and comics. In terms of accessibility, the Lerner Theatre has wheelchair accessible seating available for patrons and companions within regular theatre seats in multiple sections on the Main Floor of the theatre. We have additional options for seating in Main, Left and Right, Row AA, that would not be limited by the dimensions of the patron's mobility device. These seats are available for purchase, or upon request, from the box-office (in-person or by phone). As is often true of historic theatres, there is no wheelchair accessible seating in the balcony section. Restrooms are available and do meet ADA guidelines. The Lerner also offers a variety of assistive hearing devices. While generally animals are not allowed, exceptions include guide, sign or signal dogs to aide those with disabilities. The Lerner does offer concessions and you can take them into the theatre, however, they do ask that you open any items prior to entering the theatre. As the Lerner is downtown in Elkhart, there are dining options available and it's very possible to enjoy a night in downtown Elkhart. Fun fact: The Lerner has a 1924 Kimball pipe organ that is one of only three Kimball pipe organs currently installed in its original location. It was restored in 2011. Free parking is available adjacent to The Lerner in the Civic Plaza Public Parking area and Marion Street Parking Garage. Tours are available - reservations are required and tours are $10.

The facility is beautiful, the shows are outstanding and Kurt Stamm the director....a genius! He went out of his way to help me celebrate my sisters birthday by acknowledging her the evening we attended. I had 11 people in my group and the evening could not have been any more special!

I've been to this theatre once before, when they hosted Pecha Kucha - and have been so impressed…read morewith the space, staff, and plays. The building is gorgeous - the lobby is welcoming, the box office is quite handy, and the curb cut is RIGHT in front of the front door. THANK YOU. Inside, there are a few benches, and very clean bathrooms. There's also a bar, if you're so inclined. It seems that the doors to the play open pretty early, so if there are no seats available and you'd like to sit down, head on into the theatre! There is general seating, and the front row has no stairs, as it is on the floor. I think there are 5 or 6 rows, so not many stairs anyway, if this is an issue. It is an open space, small, but inviting. The staff are so kind. The actors, extremely talented. We just saw Beyond the Rainbow: The Judy Garland Musical, and it was some of the best acting I've ever seen. The plays are extraordinary. The talent, sets, direction, music - it all comes together to bring you one of the best theatres in town. GO!
